Draught at the brewery, 2/18/22. Lightly hazy, bright, canary yellow with some deeper brass tones and a small, somewhat dense, white head that shows low retention. Nose is vaguely fruity with tropical notes of pineapple, mango and papaya, though hardly explosively so, and there's some weird yeast character adding an almost cheesiness. A touch of alcohol on the finish, as well. In the mouth it's somewhat soft, though a bit too crackery, perhaps, without enough comforting malt. Well-attenuated, with tons of pineapple, kumquat and light papaya, as well as unripe mango. Pretty tame overall; neither as malty as I'd like, nor nearly as hoppy, despite the hop notes being generally enjoyable. Just kind of vague and there.

Half pour on tap at the brewery. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is mild fruit salad/tropical fruit. Taste is strong fruit salad, white grape and mild grapefruit. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering mild bitterness and yeast. Overall taste is much better/stronger than aroma. Not super complex but decent.
